Love it. It's so subtle, so strong, so deep. The struggles of Gen Z in post-pandemic era. The crush from the weight of family and history, the gaze from social media, the desire to be free and yet belong to the crowd. The lyrics of the duet on the beach is my favorite. Are you in love because you are afraid of being lonely

loved milky way prince so i wanted to check this game out by the creator, lorenzo, as well! here are some of my thoughts: [*] amazing art style that is very confident in itself and unique [*] the italian culture in this game is very beautiful and strong [*] i thought the ui was interesting. i liked how the text boxes would move around the screen depending on who was talking. text was glitchy sometimes though [*] 2 or 3 times i had issues loading a save file (not loading from the title, but from within a different save file) [*] the mirage scenes were always pretty cool. loved the eerie yet vibrant vibes they had each time [*] TW: the game is heavily centered around substance abuse, sexual relations, mental health issues, etc. [*] upon reading some of the negative reviews, a lot of people have said that they don't understand what the game is trying to say, or what is even going on at a deeper level. however, i believe this game definitely speaks to themes such as queer identity, rebellion, revolution, etc. more intensely, not just "toxic gay guys on vacation" that one might see at the surface level. [*] this game also touches on how the covid pandemic affected people, specifically young adults finding their way in the world and navigating the transition through their 20s, which i'm sure a lot of people can relate to. having no contact with others, living in isolation, feeling like the world has forgotten about you, losing your identity then trying to rediscover it... all these aspects tie in to the overall narrative in this game. [*] as other reviews have said about the main characters not being likable: they aren't supposed to be. these characters and their feelings are representing the negative feelings, emotions, and actions that can build up within people who have dealt with certain traumas, depressions, etc. though they are best friends, they are toxic as hell to each other, feeding off of each other's insecurities and faults. these characters are meant to show the extremes of certain feelings. there are times throughout the story when you may feel bad for a certain character, yet in the end, they don't redeem themselves; all of them stick with their childlike ways of wanting to be noticed, loved, appreciated for who they are and having their identity accepted, all while doing whatever they can to get there, even if it means hurting each other and seeking revenge. if you're looking for a deep and passionate game that dives into what it means to be queer, to be noticed, to be accepted, to get acknowledgement, consider playing!

Strange, bold and inventive - you'll either click with it or you won't. It absolutely commits to its aesthetics and its insane (even by Italian standards, even by gay standards, even by Catholic standards) level of drama, to the point that for me it loops back around to feeling like a cathartic experience. Not since playing Catherine have I felt the urge to shake playable characters by the shoulders while yelling GOOD LORD, GET A GRIP more, but I kind of love how the game refuses to let you do that and makes you peel back the layers of trauma and ego and longing of these three guys without ever falling into the trap of giving you a good ending where everything fixes itself. This game has so much going on visually and thematically, and a lot of it hits the hardest when experienced firsthand, so I'd just recommend trying it for yourself, but I'll comment on a few things I really liked. There's a lot of very clever uses of visual novel mechanics that are subverted in a way that suggests the author understood what makes them interesting in the first place (the price to pay for that is that it is slightly janky to replay, unfortunately). Visually, it looks incredible, which I think is largely due to great framing (it actually feels like you're looking at a series of film shots) and colours. There's a lot of visual influences at play, the most obvious one being Italian Catholic imagery, but it's deployed in a very intentional way that furthers the narrative - it's neither cryptic nor obvious, which is a thin line to walk. While the prose is often clearly intentionally very ornate, the game is pretty smart about knowing when to let the visuals speak for themselves and let the reader sit with a scene. I will also say the soundtrack is absolutely exquisite (and available on Spotify). If you're intrigued by it, give it a go.

This game doesn't have nearly enough reviews for how good it is. It's incredibly confident in its presentation, with some of the most uniquely stylish artwork I've seen in a game that does a fantastic job of presenting the setting as a lurid, neon-soaked hellscape that is nonetheless sensually tempting, tying in with the constant Catholic imagery and themes of Catholic guilt. The story is very much about a specific moment in time (post-Covid) for a specific group of people (wealthy Italian twinks), but the game uses this setting to tackle universal issues of alienation, stagnation and cyclicality in genuinely interesting ways. The characters are broadly unlikable, but they feel very real and are treated with a lot of empathy by the writing, and you can really feel their simmering, barely contained fury and resentment throughout. It is basically a pure visual novel, so if that's an absolute deal breaker I would steer clear, but otherwise it's highly recommended.

+ Gorgeous visuals and audio + Excellent writing is a mashup of neon-soaked theatrical drama, bitingly cynical comedy and grounded, intimate human emotion + Every single scene has unique art, rather than static sprites talking at each other + Meaningful choices despite limited interactivity + Fantastically atmospheric - No option to skip read text, even though you're clearly meant to replay the game? - You have to unlock the "fast-forward" option that lets you get through scenes you're replaying, which didn't happen until after I saw the "true" ending * Very flawed characters you may or may not end up sympathizing with, which could affect your enjoyment * While sex and violence underlie everything, there is not actually any explicit content of either; nudity is censored, as are the sex scenes, and the worst you'll see violence-wise is blood with disturbing sound effects * This is openly, uncompromisingly queer, and if that makes you at all uncomfortable you're going to have a bad time Going into Mediterranea Inferno, I was expecting something shallow, but dark and stylish enough to make up for it. Gore and shameless sexuality, but in a fun way. Shock value rather than value, perhaps. And the game is filled with violence, sex and psychosexual horror, brought to life by its phenomenal sound design and visuals. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by both how easy the overall story was to follow and by the unflinching but surprisingly sympathetic portrayal of the leads' inner turmoil. The latter, more than anything, was what made me love this game. The writing approaches its deeply flawed trio and their messy relationships with an unsparing eye, but it ultimately reaches for empathy and shared horror at the world rather than a moralistic condemnation. Yes, they're all terrible twenty-somethings who seem to be preoccupied mainly with themselves, but despite initial impressions, the script isn't interested in painting them as nothing but vapid stereotypes for you to hate, even as they increasingly view each other that way as their friendship unravels. Beneath the performance, each of them is hiding pain rooted in something complex and human. Let's talk about the gameplay for a moment. The boys begin each day by suggesting different activities they want to do. Going along with a specific character's desires means they get the opportunity to experience a Mirage: surreal, psychological dreamscapes experienced in first-person which offer you insight into that character's insecurities, preoccupations, and the lies they're telling themselves. Seeing four Mirages lets a character reach "paradise" in the ending, supposedly, but you're warned early that there aren't enough Mirages to go around. No matter what you do, ultimately someone is going to be left out in the cold. Despite the limited interactivity, the choices you make still matter. Depending on the mental state you've inflicted on each boy by buying or denying them Mirages, their dialogue and actions shift dramatically. Feeding their delusions via Mirages keeps each boy happy, but to get to the real person inside each of them you have to do the opposite: crush their hopes by denying them their escapist fantasies, until you can finally get to the root of their trauma, which is portrayed in a cumulative nightmare sequence at the end of each route depending on who you've failed to bring to heaven. Each ending is different, but all of the ones I found were rewarding. I passed the height of COVID-19 in China. The characters' spiralling mental health and increasing detachment towards reality as they passed day after day in total isolation felt incredibly true to life and relatable to my experiences, in a way it might not be for others—Italy's lockdowns, like ours, were stricter than elsewhere, and brutalized people in ways that can be hard to talk about even now. Still, regardless of whether you can personally relate to the characters' experiences, I'd recommend at least trying this game out if it sounds like something you might enjoy. If nothing else, it's currently a unique experience in gaming. Not to mention one of the only pieces of media I've seen that wants to talk about what the pandemic has done to a generation of the young and hopeful. TL;DR: Recommended if you are the kind of person who watches or would watch Italian art films about toxic queer friends, as that's essentially what this is, except with more player guilt.
